Brand new to Ubuntu and having some trouble with software updating. I tried to put playonlinux on my system but it keeps failing to install. My internet connection is also pretty slow (wired to modem). I was wondering if anyone out there could point me in the right direction about seeing all the hardware the OS is seeing (device manager for lack of knowing the proper term). I have an older desktop (Dell Optiplex 745) which is the reason I thought I would try this. I have installed 12.04.3 alongside XP. All the partitioning went well and the system boots up as advertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ty
